Reminiscing...

     I woke up this morning because of his call. Yeah he called again and I don't know why I'd pick up the phone and talked to him. I heard his voice again and wth the feelings come rushing to me again. :( I hate myself for that! I kept thinking of him for almost a week and I didn't expect that he'd call up again. I hate myself because I know he has a girlfriend now and I'm still thinking of him despite of all the hurt he's caused me. I want to forget him but how? I don't want someone courting me and I dunno if I can love another again. :(
     I hope I find someone who can catch my attention again, with my fingers crossed I know he's just out there waiting for me too.

Interview with a writer

     Last wednesday, 23 of March, I interviewed a multi-awarded writer Mr. Dean Francis Alfar at the Robinsons, Galleria. My mom and classmate accompanied me for the interview and I was so nervous at that time because I was afraid that he might not show up or he's a bad attitude but I was totally wrong. Mr. Alfar is a good person and he's just a simple man. When he arrived I thought I was seeing the wrong person because he was just wearing a plain shirt, jogging pants and slippers. See? You won't actually believe his a multi-awarded writer because he remains humble inspite of all he has attained and everything he has. I learned a lot from him not just about writing but also about life. I learned that we should never wait for oppotunities to open on us but we should do things we want and if we fail, at least we tried.

     What I learned most from him is that it is okay to do what you want and pursue your dream but be aware of the people I hurt along the way, be aware of the consequences that my actions take and be ready to stand for my convictions, good or bad. It was a pleasure meeting him and was able to talked to him.

    Now I know what I want to be. I want to be like him someday. I want to write and win an award one day, someday.

     Mr. Alfar and my classmate Rodel with their "pogi" pose. this proves that he is not an intimidating person and he is just easy to get along.

My mama and Mr. Alfar. He said, "I love mothers!"

     I look up to him so much. He said that he would look forward to the books that I will write and the awards that I would get. Oh my! What a challenge! I had a great time talking to him and I wish to see him again one day. Thank you Mr. Dean Francis Alfar!
